MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Residents, pharmacies, and doctors in southeast Wisconsin are gearing up for flu season.

Lisa Schnell was at the Northshore Pharmacy on Friday afternoon getting her flu shot.

“I’m a schoolteacher and I want to get ahead of the flu season,” Schnell said. “So that I can be there for them because it’s important for teachers to be at school.”

The Northshore pharmacy is also getting ready, expecting flu cases to go up when December rolls around.

“Trying to keep as much staffing as we can, again flu shots are a really big part of keeping people safe and healthy,” Pharmacy Manager David Drobac said.

Medical College of Wisconsin Infectious Disease Physician Dr. Mary Beth Graham says flu cases are relatively low across the country and in Wisconsin at the moment.
